All the girls love to put some make up for a girl’s night out, when it comes to dating or even to go to work. We feel prettier, sometimes we can feel also more comfortable with it so why not use it? The hard part is to try wearing it trying not be noticed from miles away. The right way of applying some of it, is exactly when people can’t tell that you have some on, because it is supposed to make yourself prettier not helping you being something else you are not.

Foundation

Google.

If you apply foundation to your lips before putting any lipstick on, it will respect its own color a lot more. You need to neutralize your lip color first so that the lipstick one can be fully applied. Remember to put some lip balm first to prevent them from drying out.

Lining lips

Google.

Lip lining will make them look much bigger and your lipstick will last a lot longer. You need to do it from the outside to the inside and you also need to be patient so that your lips look tidy and not messy with it.

Highlighter Powder

Google.

If you highlight your bottom and upper lip in the centre a little it will glow without the bothering stickiness. It looks also more natural.

Exfoliate

Google.

The better way of exfoliating your dry lips is with a toothbrush and vaseline. Try doing it for a few seconds and you'll see better results in any product you apply on them. Be careful and separate the toothbrush you are using for this, and the one for your teeth because you don't want vaseline in your teeth or toothpaste on your lips believe me, it hurts a lot and even more if you have dryness issues.

Angelina Jolie's effect

Google.

For a longer and fuller lip effect try applying it from the outside to the inside moving your finger (if you are using your finger for the application). Put some lipgloss in the middle of your lower lip too. That will help a little more!

Recycling old things

Google.

Try to mix shadows that you didn't use anymore with other glosses or vaseline and you'll get new glosses and shades in just a few secs. You will have a wider variety of colors to change your look!

Eyelashes

Google.

If you apply some vaseline to your eyelashes every night they will get longer and more bushy. You don't need to do it EVERY NIGHT but at least once every two nights.

Second round!

Google.

Try applying a second coat of mascara for better results. It will definitely bring the illusion of bigger lashes as well as darker ones. It works perfectly with your lower lashes too.

False eyelashes

Google.

Cut your false eyelashes and use only half of it. Place them in the external part of your eye and create the best effect in the world. Your lashes will look a lot longer, and more natural than applying the whole things at once.

Pimples

Google.

Put some tree oil in your face and it helps you fix dark spots and pimples. It is a natural way of fixing this type of "imperfections" instead of applying beauty products that mostly have things that don't need to be exactly in your face.

Eye drop saver

Google.

Another pimple tip! Have your eye drops with your make up staff! They can also help you with the swelling and redness of your pimples after trying to get rid of them. They can hurt a little and also be too swollen.

Blush

Google.

If you have a long face you don't need to make it longer with the blush so it is better if you try not to make long lines with it on your cheeks. The other way around if you have a rounder face. You need to make it more stylized so you need to try to make it longer.

Darker skins

Google.

For darker skins try to use a bronzer instead of a blush, that will make it seem more natural and not that applied. Remember, our goal is to look natural and not holy painted.

Moisturizing

Google.

Guess what? If you apply moisturizing when your face is already slightly moist, everything will last a lot longer. So it is important to keep it fresh, moisturized and also clean. Before going to sleep it adds points to wash your face with the right soap.

Contoured face

Google.

If you want to make your nose thinner and sharper try to highlight it in the middle part of it and then put some bronzing powder on the sides. That will make you look more defined and also will give you a brighter look.

Natural Yoghurt

Google.

Applying natural yoghurt to your face will give you a brighter look too! It is one of the most easiest and cheapest moisturizing you'll ever get. Just apply it for 20 minutes. Not more than that because it is too much and can get sticky too!

Nail solution

Google.

If you apply some vinegar on your nails before painting them, it will ensure the paint and will make it last a lot longer than it lasted. Another natural way of solving problems!

Olive oil

Google.

Isn't the most bothering thing when nails get cut and break and you get hooked on everything? Well, if you dip them in olive oil for a few minutes twice a week they will get stronger and shinier.

Cleaning

Google.

To avoid bacteria and oily textures, try to clean your makeup brushes and applicators. They can get you dirty and also be careful when sharing this things because you don't know what that person's skin can have.

The Dip Dye Wedding Dress Is The Coolest New Trend

By: sofia - 23 September 2016, 13:27

Compartir en Facebook

The wedding day is one of the most important days for a couple. The bride spends hours planning every small detail of the event because they want everything to be perfect. Deciding on a wedding dress is one of the toughest decisions because there are many different options to choose from.

If you are tired of the all-white traditional wedding dresses, you’ll love this new dip dye dress trend. Your wedding will be more colorful and it can help disguise all those unwanted stains that dresses get from touching the ground. We’ll also share with you Julie Gerstein’s helpful tips on how to choose your wedding dress.

Look for dresses you like

Source: James Tang Photography

First of all, you should have an idea of what you want before you step foot in a bridal shop. Find dresses you love on magazines or Pinterest before you head to the stores, this will help you find the kind of style you’re looking for.

When should you start looking for a dress?

Source: James Tang Photography

Most people would recommend you start looking around eight months before your big day to give yourself enough time for alterations. But, if you buy your dress too early, you might second-guess your choice in the months leading up to the wedding day.

If you want a custom designed dress…

Source: Rock & Roll Bride

If you’re getting a custom design, plan 6 to 8 months out. It’s really hard to get a custom gown made in a short amount of time, and you might have to pay extra for it. If you’re getting married in the next few months and really want a custom gown, keep in mind that extra charge.

Buy between Thanksgiving and Christmas

Source: Emm And Clau

If you can, buy your dress between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Stores expect a huge rush of end-of-year engagements and stock up around then to accommodate, so you should but it before New Year’s Eve.

Be clear about your budget

Source: Lucy Can't Dance

Don’t be ashamed of saying how much you’re willing to pay to your friends and the bridal shop associates, so they’re clear about what your boundaries are.

Make bridal salon appointments during the week

Source: Monica Dart

You know how crowded malls can get during the weekends and you’ll get much more individual attention on weekdays than on weekends.

You don’t have to spend too much money

Source: Firefly Events Report

Wedding dress boutiques are really pricey, and they’re not the only places to find great wedding dresses. You can try your favorite dress shops and boutiques for dresses you can modify or really make your own.

Who can help you choose?

Source: Marc Brooke

You can take your mom, sister, cousin, best friend, or whoever you want as long as you trust their opinion. They can help you choose your wedding dress, but remember it is YOUR dress, so if you really like a dress don’t worry if they disagree.

Remember to bring heels

Source: Cleo And Clementine

You should bring heels and a strapless bra if you’re actually planning on wearing it the day of your wedding. You need to know what the dress would look like when you are wearing heels.

Don’t do your makeup

Source: Mink Maids Collection

Do your hair, but don’t do your makeup when you’re trying on dresses, the last thing you want is the bridal consultant arguing about the makeup stains on the dress you are tying on.

Consider the venue

Source: French Kiss The Bride

Consider the venue when choosing what kind of style will suit you. Whether your wedding is on the beach, or at a church, you should take these things into consideration when choosing your dress fabric, length, and style.

Consider a vintage or second-hand dress

Source: boredpanda.com

Wedding dresses are typically only worn once, so you can save tons of money by going for a second-hand dress. Vintage shops and charity shops are great places to find gorgeous wedding gowns on the cheap.

Buy a dress for a good cause

Source: Style Me Pretty

You can also do some good with your wedding gown purchase if you wish. There are several charities that offer both gently worn and new dresses for sale, with all proceeds going to the cause.

Don’t worry about the number of dresses you’ve tried on

Source: Sweet Caroline Styles

Don’t get frustrated. It could be your first dress; it could be your 50th dress. There’s no telling when the moment will happen.

Be open-minded when trying on different styles

Source: Want That Wedding

You never know. Maybe a fishtail mermaid style dress is actually the secret to your happiness. Give it a shot, will you?

Go for a corset if you’re short on time

Source: boredpanda.com

If you don’t have the option of sitting through multiple alterations, you may want a corset-style dress, because it’ll allow you the option of making it as tight or loose as you need it, no matter if you gain or lose a few pounds.

Sometimes a bridal shop will throw in a veil or an accessory for free on a big order

Source: aliexpress

It doesn’t hurt to ask! Fun fact: Veils are inexpensive to make, but come at a high markup. For that reason, they’re great bargaining chips.

You shouldn’t forget the accessories

Source: Amber Gress

Don’t forget about the headpiece, veil, shoes, and all the other little details that are going to complement your dress.

Before you buy, have a think on it

Source: Amber Gress

Buying a wedding dress is a big commitment, so don’t feel pressured by your friends, family, or a bridal salon associate to make a choice before you’re ready. You’re the one who has to wear it, not them.

Focus on how the dress feels—not on your perceived physical flaws

Source: Jasmine Star

A lot of bridal salons don’t let you take photos of potential dresses, which may actually be a good thing. Sales consultants say that when women take pictures of themselves, they tend to focus on their flaws, rather than actually noticing the dress itself.
